Question:

True Film Lovers And Filmakers Answer This Please?

Is it really hard to make an adaption film? I just saw Transformers and the only thing I got from it was sterotypes and a teen love flick. It stole from ID4 storyline (Independence Day) Spiderman 3 didn't stick to the roots of Venom. Silver Surfer was a joke. When you make a film on adaption aren't you suppose to stick to it's roots? Aren't you suppose to stick to the fanbase and not cater to people who don't give damn? True film goers and film makers answer this please. Thanks for the time and sorry if I have any grammar errors.


Answers:

Well, first off, you have to realize that Michael Bay is absolutely positively not a director of films that might be considered to have artistic merit.

He produces flashy films which appeal to those who are seeking explosive, quick entertainment and are simply meant to earn money.

There are many examples of remakes that have been of very high quality and stayed true to the original.

I think that the Transformers isn't really a good example to use as the basis for this kind of thinking. It's an action cartoon genre, not a thematic film that you take something away from. It's action entertainment.

This new movie wasn't made to build upon the original transformers movie or cartoon, it was simply a modern adaptation of the famous and well known storyline meant to earn money. Michael Bay is a profit generating director. He directs movies which often have high box office success, but get little critical acclaim. The type of movies which average people like to watch, but are completely forgotten 10 years later.

All of these comic book adaptation films are just pulp fiction looking to make money at the box office, you have to realize that. They aren't geared to appeal to the people who enjoyed the original comic books when they were younger, that wouldn't have mass appeal.
